Steamed Taro Bun
I love taro, or yam outside of the United States. Taro is a root vegetable and it’s my favorite. Taro root has a mild, nutty taste. It has a slippery and starchy texture. It’s commonly used in many Asian cuisines, served sweet or savory. In this taro bun recipe, I used taro and sugar to make the taro paste for steamed buns. These sweet taro buns are exactly like the ones served in Din Tai Fung, except that they are 100% homemade.
